Lifelines

A thermos that holds more than coffee. Quilting frames handmade by my Great Grandfather. A tree that refused to grow straight and tall. A daughter taking control of her own life. Doodling to stay alive. How a heart attack can change the way we see things. These are the things which remind me that each person walks through this world with his or her own unique perspective: perspectives from which others could benefit. In this collection of poetry and essays lies my own unique perspective. Maybe someone can benefit from them. Or at least enjoy them.
